Well, the stuff around the wiki status board is pretty new and I don't
think anyone feels that it's set in stone yet. The thing we don't want
to compromise on, IMHO, is that the long-term record of what's happened
is in the mailing list archives and *not* in the internal state of some
tool we happen to be using. (One obvious reason for not compromising
on that is that we'd be locked into whatever tool we first pick.)
But it doesn't really matter whether the tool thinks it has archival
state, as long as we can make it link to the archives conveniently.

regards, tom lane
